AdBlue Contamination

All around Northamptonshire we have identified a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of motorists not being aware of how to to make use of (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. If you find you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And obviously don't start the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking area. Assuming you have started the car you would almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Wrong Fuel Assist Kingsthorpe - Wrong Fuel in Car Kingsthorpe

I enjoyed a perfect day cycling during my holiday and felt cheerful with myself the next morning as I set off to help a new family on holiday in Kingsthorpe. They pulled over after inserting the wrong fuel into their brother's Ford Ranger, and they were about half an hour away. I got there at their car and smirked to myself while I listened to the wife telling her husband off for being so confused. "Precisely how could you actually be able to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this occurs on a regular basis in Northamptonshire and that it's truly nothing to fret about, however he yet still had an ear bashing by his better half. Unlucky lad. In any case, I extracted all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. As they drove down the road I shouted bon voyage and wondered what my missus would tell me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
